our mornings are about to change next week. the 3 big kids will be going back to school and a few weeks later, els will start 2 day a week preschool. here's a glimpse of how many of our mornings have begun this summer.
both of the boys wake up early to watch morning cartoons and play video games. one takes a break and usually hops in bed with els as she is super snuggly and warm.
she takes after me, she likes to sleep in and it takes her awhile to get out of bed.
and that's enough :)
as crazy as it gets sometimes with all 4 kids home and running around like wild children, i absolutely love summer. i love having them here with me.. no itinerary, no where to be. we spend a good portion of our days in our pajamas and only leave the house if we must :) this year is going to be a huge chapter in our lives. 3 of the 4 kids are starting at new schools. as i was downloading these pics to my august folder, i was embarrassed to see that i only took photos one other time this month. geeeeeez. wedding season does that to me. i'll be camera ready for these new chapters i speak of. :)
what a great reminder to just enjoy the moment! Thanks for sharing these special memories. Don't feel bad about not taking too many photos - my son reminds me that we can still hold on to great moments and always says "I'm going to take a picture of this is my mind." Happy weekend to you! =)

Yeah, summer is fun, and it's nice to have no schedule, but then it's nice to get back to a routine after 3 months of it. I just sent my son off to first grade today, and I can't get over how weird it will be to have him gone all day!
